Orlebar Brown Cruise 2014 collection

Water is central to everything in the universe, and is very much the DNA of Orlebar Brown. For Cruise 2014, the focus is on exploration, relaxation and recreation above water. Photographic prints from the late Slim Aarons lead itself seamlessly into the theme. The American photographer once said he made a living “photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places”. A particular favourite is Aarons's depiction of Hotel-Du-Cap Eden Roc (middle left), which features impossibly blue skies and emerald green waters on a bed of sculptured rocks. The print now adorns the mid length Bulldog shorts, as well as their fitted Tommy Tees.
